NEW! Yamaha Montage M ESP - The Montage M is now available as a DAW Plugin!

Today Yamaha announced the first release of the Montage M ESP (Expanded Softsynth Plugin). This plugin, available for free for existing Montage M owners, allows you to install a plugin VST version of the Montage M and run it from within your DAW - with no connection to the Montage M hardware. It also allows you to transfer performance data to and from hardware Montage M synthesizers. In this video I upgrade my Montage M7 firmware, then install and test out the new Montage M ESP! 0:00 Intro 1:42 Firmware Upgrade Required 2:23 Backing Up 3:09 Formatting USB Stick 3:35 Copy Firmware to USB Stick 3:50 Upgrading Firmware 4:57 Restoring Backup 5:46 Steinberg Download Assistant 6:14 Authorizing & Downloading ESP 7:45 Unpacking & Installing ESP 9:28 Configuring Cubase 9:59 Opening ESP 11:25 Presets 12:20 Editing Parts 12:57 Performance Controls 13:29 Add Parts 14:01 FM-X 15:21 Common Controls 15:43 Montage M Connect 17:19 Library 17:26 Global Settings 18:17 Overall Thoughts #ESP
